Streams

fromEvent is a function that accepts a source of events, such as click events on a toggle. As a result, it creates a sequence of events over time. This sequence is called a stream.

Reactive programming is programming with streams.

Reactive stream libraries like RxJS let you:

  • create a stream from various sources
  • transform and filter a stream in different ways
  • combine multiple streams
  • and more!
